Corp.com Bought by Microsoft to Stop Windows Account Hijacking<\/h2>\n
To prevent its use by scammers stealing Windows credentials, monitoring customer traffic, or serving malicious files, Microsoft has purchased the corp.com domain. Previously, it was held by internet domain name investor Mike O'Connor, who has held the domain for the past 26 years and has always been hesitant to sell it.<\/p>\n
Historically, Microsoft recommended companies to use \u201cCORP\u201d as the name of their Active Directory when configuring their Windows network. Since the Internet and DNS are now more integrated with Windows network domains, those using \u201cCORP\u201d for Active Directory could run into DNS issues due to name collisions with the real corp.com domain on the Internet. If malicious actors used the corp.com Internet domain, it would likely permit them to distribute infected files or malware, or even misappropriate Windows user credentials. They send user accounts and hashed passwords<\/a> to the server, and that would make them vulnerable when they try to access network shares.<\/p>\n Microsoft now advises that you should own any domain you intend to use for your Active Directory Services on a Windows network, to stop any DNS name collisions.<\/p>\n With Zoom videoconferencing services growing in popularity, attackers are making use of it to distribute installers packaged with malware applications.

According to Trend Micro, \"We found a Coinminer bundled with the legitimate installer of video conferencing app Zoom, luring users who want to install the software but end up unwittingly downloading a malicious file.\" This malware tries to use your GPU and CPU to search for the Monero cryptocurrency and may harm the hardware in your PC by causing your computer to slow down and possibly get overheated.<\/p>\n That email in your inbox may not be from who you think.
